The Golden Knights are 6-2 in their last eight Tuesday games. Las Vegas is 6-2 in the last eight home meetings.

Prediction:

The Golden Knights offense is clicking on all cylinders right now and they are in front of one of the best home crowds in the NHL. It just seemed like San Jose was facing a steep uphill battle the entire tme in Game 3 and I don't expect much to change tonight. If anything, I trust Fleury at home here far more than I trust Jones to put it all together with a stellar road performance. Give me Las Vegas as the favorites.
